Mary Ann Dudek suggests a cup of tea when enjoying a slice of this cake-like bread. "It does well at bake sales and is a wonderful gift-particularly for coconut lovers," says the Cleveland, Ohio baker.

I have seen this recipe many times in various Taste of Home cookbooks and magazines and finally decided to give it a try. I made the recipe exactly as followed and it was way too crumbly. It had good flavor though and the crumbliness did not stop my children from picking at the loaf all day long. Probably won't be making again, but it did have a nice coconut flavor.

Have made this several times. Mine always came out firm, not crumbly. It's so good and a nice change from the usual bread flavors.

This was definitely more of a cake than a bread. In a loaf pan it was hard to cut slices because it was so crumbly. Also, I added a small can of well-drained crushed pineapple and it was good!

I forgot to add to my previous review that I had also made the coconut loaf with some mini chocolate chips and it was also a winner.
I was going through some of my TOH magazines and came across the March/April, 2002 Quick Cooking. I love coconut so I decided to give it a try. This is a simple yet delicious soft cake like bread, the coconut is very light in flavor and not over powering.I have some muffin top baking pans and decided to make tops. I made some with chocolate fudge icing and called them "Mounds Cakes", to the second batch I added almonds and iced them with chocolate fudge icing and called them " Almond Joy Cakes". My husband, grandchildren,neighbors and dentist just flipped over them. They are perfect little cakes plain, but awesome with the fudge icing. This recipe has alot of possiblilites.
